Showing Original Post only (View all)FWIW: Threads post from someone who had a diagnosis like Biden's [View all]
“President Biden's cancer diagnosis sounds exactly like the diagnosis I had this last November. Gleason score of 9 and metastasis to the bone, discovered after urinary problems.
After 6 chemotherapy treatments, 3 weeks apart, my cancer is now under control.
Mr. Biden has a good chance of living with this for a long time with monitoring and occasional treatment.“

I am going to be positive about this and I hope the MSM stops with the Biden old and sleepy narrative

Thanks for that. They caught mine early and after radiation I'm still good to go.

Yes. That's what my husband's urologist told him. My husband is also 83, but cancer free
